We can all put aside our differences

For a story of separation

You cannot uproot a tree

By pulling at the topmost branches

Cutting branches won’t do –

The roots must be pulled up

From the darkness

And brought into

The Light

And sometimes

Instead of words

I weep

You who knowingly face the darkness

Believe you are shining a light

Through actions that must remain in the dark

You who walk unawares in the dark

Can see only your bestial illusions

Believing you are shining a light

When we are naive to darkness,

It unknowingly blinds us.

When we focus on it,

It deepens.

When we shine Light on it,

It is revealed as Light.

And the culmination of all your healing

Must one day be

To take responsibility

Taking responsibility.

The process of finding your Self

Is not a searching

But a listening.
